The Learning Objective: Determine three measures of variation when looking at a box plot
Assessment: Students did an exit ticket that was checked by me.
Agenda:
- Jumpstart on independent variables versus dependent variables
- QSSQ
- Students worked in groups on what could be the median, first quartile, and third quartile of a box plot without any instruction for five minutes while I corrected weekly quizzes
- We reviewed the predictions students made (essentially took notes)
- Samantha's Family in relation to the box and whisker plots
- Exit Ticket
- Start homework
- Work on the weekly quiz

Regrets: Many students plowed through the homework and weekly quiz. A point in the lesson I did not prep for, but on the fly I had students create data sets that could make sense for a box plot. Next I had them create a potential line plot based on a box and whisker plot. I'd like to have this be a little more organized in the future or even assign the next lesson instead of slowing it down as much as we did today.
